Hi WB,
one model of GPL software is that the source code is 'free' but the
customer pays for its upkeep and customization, and also for your
expertise and support. The idea being that while anyone could hack the
source code, it is you who they pay for your continued expertise to make
it to suite them.
But for dual license, I think mysql and qt do
this.
